“Saturday will be dry, bright and warm for most, though a few showers may develop over the hills, including the odd heavy one. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

“Sunny spells may be interrupted by a few heavy showers. It will be very warm on Sunday, but become less warm beyond that, particularly in the north.”

While temperatures will remain above 20°C in most areas through the weekend, it is set to be warmest on Sunday, with highs of 23°C.
